To be honest, I am not much of a pasta person. I’ll eat it occasionally but I could definitely live without it. When I do eat pasta though, I prefer it to be homemade. There is just something different about fresh pasta that makes it taste way better than dried. The Recipe Redux theme this month was spring cleaning! So I looked through my fridge and found sun-dried tomato paste, which I have never used and thought it would be good for this theme!
Today was one of those rare days where I wanted to eat some pasta, and I wanted fresh ravioli. Not just any ravioli though, I wanted to make something different and delicious!
I made the pasta with garbanzo bean flour, in order to keep it gluten-free and full of protein and healthy fats. I filled them with hummus and sun-dried tomatoes. The result? Outstanding! Sun-dried Tomato and Hummus Ravioli
- 2 cups of garbanzo bean flour (aka chickpea flour), plus more for rolling
- 2 eggs ( or 2 flax eggs for vegan option
- 1 tbsp cornstarch or tapioca starch
- Hummus
- Sun-dried tomato paste (or place sun-dried tomatoes in food processor until smooth)
1. Beat eggs in a small bowl then combine with flour in a large bowl with cornstarch 2. Mix well until a dough forms 3. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface until about 1/8 inch thick 4. Cut in to about 24 rectangles, place about 1/2 tsp each of hummus and sun-dried tomato paste on 12 rectangles 5. Top each filled rectangle with the remaining rectangles, press sides down with a fork and ensure no filling will come out 6. Boil water in a medium size sauce pan 7. Place 3 raviolis in at a time into the boiling water for about 2-3 minutes and repeat until done 8. Top with more hummus and tomato paste if you desire! Enjoy! 🙂

This sounds so inventive!!! Love this idea!
yumsies!!!!
I’ve never used garbanzo bean flour. I don’t even know that I knew it was a thing. Hummus is brilliant for ravioli!
I love sun dried tomatoes and raviolis! What a yummy & healthy meal!!
Awesome! I’m dying to try making gf/vegan pasta when I get home!
Wait what? Hummus in ravioli? This sounds so good and it has nothing to do with the fact that I’m a hummus addict! Love, love, love this and can’t wait to give it a try!
I’ve made ravioli with chickpea flour and flax meal a couple of times, and I always love how it turns out. You’ve definitely taken it up a few notches with sundried tomato and hummus though, YUM!
Awesome recipe- such a great use of your ingredients! I love that you made the ravioli with chickpea flour!
You should try it! its awesome!
I love making GF pasta!
its amazing!
I only have AP flour and white whole wheat flour at home (and no gluten issues), can I use either of these 1:1?
yes that should work out just fine 🙂

The dough completely seized up on me and became hard as a brick. Thought I was going to dislocate a finger trying to knead it. Any idea why?
